THE EVENING q'T‘\‘F\‘ WASHINGTON, 0 [ 18 MONXDAY. OCTOBER 15 1928. e NEBRASKA LEANS TOWARD HOOVER Republicans, Protestants and Drys Believed to Hold Balance of Power. (Continned from First Page.) an vote here was Democratic: but a very large part. But in the German-Americans swung ! away from the Democratic ! party and lined up for Harding. | Reports are conflicting as to how the religious issue is affecting the German- American vote here. About half of the voters of German descent are Catholic | and half Lutheran it is asserted that the ald antogonism | of the Lutherans for the Catholles will | line up the Lutherans solidly against | Gov. Smith. In a recent convention of Lutheran ministers, many of them from Nebraska. a canvass showed that out of | 85 only 3 were for Smith and the rest were for Hoover. Discount Relizious Tssue. However, others contend that the re figious issue will not cut so deeply here, particularly among the German- Americans, because of the fight in which all the foreign churches joined against the State law which prohibited | teaching anything hut the English lan- | guage in the vhrzk up to the high | schools. This law kpplied to the pub- | lic schools, parochfal schools and pri- q vate schools alike. The German Lutherans and the Ger- | man Catholics were both engaged in | the fight against the law, whicll was finally turned down in the courts, Fur- thermore, I was told that two of the most_prominent Lutheran ministers in the State were working actively for Smith, although their names are not | being used publicly.

The drys and the wets are both making much of it. find many German-Americans who talk avidly about a modification of the dry laws azain. On'the other hand. the Prot- estant ministers and the W. C. T. U and the Anti-Saloon League are ali hard at it. attacking Gov. Smith on h stand against the eighteenth amend ment. Nebraska was “dry” before Na- tion-wide prohibition went into ef- fect, by State lezislative enactment. | Many of the Democrats do not forgef | ‘Thu' Nebraska itself had a Demecratic | presidential candidate who was one of | | the most ardent_drys the country ever produced, the late William Jennings Bryan, Charles W. Bryan, “Brother Charlie.” is tuaning on the Democratic_ticket for covernor, an office to which he has been clected in the past. Like Col a. Charles Bryan is a dry. though | more liberal than his_brother. He is | campalgning for Gov. Smith, but mak- ing it clear that he does not stand with the, Democratic presidential can- didate on the liquor issue. In this re- spect he is like many other candidates on State and congressional Democratic tickets this year. For example, Charles | M. Hay. Missouri’'s ardent dry candi- date for the United States Senate, and Scnator Swanson of Virginia Mr. Bryan was the candidate for Vice President on the ticket with John W. four years ago. At that time it was thought he might help to swing the State into line for the Democrats. the presidential contest. however, made | it impossible for the Democrats to run even a close race with the Cool- idae ticket in 1924 “Hoover or booze. the Republican dry: The Democrats come right a slogan of their own: bigotry.” It is quite clear here that the Demo- crats have campaigned adroitly to win | votes for their candidate for Presi deat on the issue of intolerance. They are seeking to cause this intolerance is the slogan of in this campaign back with “Smith or membesa of vatious kinds of beneficial social organizations—are said to be for Smith, and. indeed. representatives of | these Jorganize* ‘ons have indorsed him. | ‘The ‘“unorganized” Germans are re- ported to be inclined to support Hoover. | A whispering campaign against Mr. Hoover has been carried on assiduously among the German-Americans in an effort to make it appear that Mr.| Hoover is pro-British and was anti- | German before the United States went | into the World War and cruel to the Germans after the war. And it is to| this campaign more even than to the| wetness of Gov. Smith that the Ger- man-American defections from the Re- publican ticket may be attributed, it is said. Efforts are being made by the Republicans to counteract this cam- | paign against Hoover, just as in St. Louis. where the same kind of tactics | have been employed to beat the Re- | publican nominee Democratic leaders are confident that | the German-American vote, which left them in great numbers after the World War, is coming back to the Democratic fold this year. It was this German- American vote, it is claimed, that was largely responsible for the defeat of former Senator Hitchcock, Democratic chairman of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee at the time the Ver- sailles peace treaty was before the Sen- ate. If they, the Democrats, win back this_German-Arherican vote they MECHT- .. i goe —that at a recent smart tea | one of the most comment- | ed-upon ensembles consisted | of a dress of golden-brown | Flat Crepe worn with a yark- et of dark Brown Broadtail | issue to obscure the prohibition jin dry issue territory.

Nebraska was regarded, along with Towa and Minnesota, as the head and | forefront of the farmers’ rebellion |against the Coolidge administration |and Hoover candidacy for the Repub- lican presidential nomination along about the time of the Republican na- | tional convention in Kansas City. Gov. McMullen, Republican, of this State. was one of the leaders of the rebellion, and took a prominent part in the dem- onstration which was staged by ansi- and anti-Hoover fa it the other way Haugen farm bill at | administration mers; or to put | the pro-McNa Kansas City. The Democrats have been awaiting | anxiowsly for Gov. McMullen to come | out, for Smith and against Mr. Hoover, just as they have waited for some | 'such declaration by Senator But they have wailed in vain. Gov, McMullen entertained Gov. Smith_at the Capitol in Lincoln when the New ‘\ml. Governor was swinging through the West a few weeks ago. But it was made clear that it was the courtess | of one governor to another. And now from sources close to the govern it appears that in the end he is like to make some speeches for the Republi | can national ticket. perhaps launch- | ing his campaign in Tllinois or Missouri or some other Middle Western State. and then coming into Nebraska for the wind-up. It is noticeable foo, that some of the prominent Republicans who | were supporting Lowden and Dawes for the President nomination are be- | coming more pronounced in their sup- | | port. of Mr. Hoover as the campaian moves on to a close. So the farm |issue is not expected to car any | Republican voters into the Democratic ranks on election day in this State Four years ago, Senator George Nor- ris was running_for re-election to the enate on the Republican ticket. His sympathies were with the TLa Follette- Wheeler presidential ticket, but he | made no ‘public declaration” for that ticket. He remained a Repubtican, al- though he did not say a word. either for the Coolidge-Dawes ticket. He is not a candidate this year for his pres- ent. term has four more years to run. | But- he is campaigning for Democratic | |and Republican Progressive Senators | | seeking re-clection, in his usual non- - | partisan manner. Like the late Senator TLa Follette, Senator Norris voted against the resc Intion declaring this country in a state of war with Germany. He has a grate- ful following among the German-Amer- | feanz here and in other Siates, Thore | Norris. | lor not | Richard L. | Bryan, it | are those who say that if Senator Nor- ris_can campaign for Senator Wheeler, a Democrat, in Montana, and for Sen- ator Dill, another Democrat, in Wash- | ington, there seems no good reason why he cannot come out and indorse the Smith-Robinson_ticket. But neverthe- less and in spite of the fact he has ised some of Gov. Smith's speeches farm relief and water power, there a feeling here that he is not coming out for either presidential candidate during the present campaign. | Report Norris for Smith. ' I found one Demoeratic leader, how- | ever, who asserted quite positively that | in the last week of the campaign Sen- ator Norris would make speeches in Ne- braska for Gov. Smith. This report, it was said, came from authoritative sources | But whether he comes out for Smith | the Democrats believe that the | publication of Senator Norris' praise | for Smith's speeches has had the effect | of carrying some of the farm vote to Smith. " No man in public life today in braska has the hold on the farmer that has Senator Norris. And the Dem- | ocrats are counting cn his swinging the farmers in great numbers to their na- tional ticket if he should make only one or two speeches here for Smith. Senator Norris has promised to come into the State before the campaign closes and make some speeches for his colleague. Sénator Howell, a_progressive Republican like himself. The re-elee- tion of Senator Howell, however. ap- pears to be a foregone conclusion Against Senator Howell is running Metealfe, formerly editor of Bryan's Commoner, and at one time Govegnor of the Canal Zone. Metcalfe however, has strong opposition among the German-American voters, becanuse it is said, he was unfriendly to the Ger- | man-Americans during the Mr. Bryan, campaigning for gov- crnor. 15 pposed by Arthur J.

That may be one reason, it is said, he will say noth- ing about presidential candidates. The Democrats are relying upon the ‘disgruntled” farmer.
